Upcoming schedules

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

  Changing the "number of days to preview in ledger" is self  
explanatory, it only changes the number of days to display the  
upcoming schedules in advance in the ledger, not on the homepage.

The future payments on the homepage are showing only 6 schedules in  
which the last is set for 2024-01-05 which is 2 days from now.   
Clicking the "Show more schedules on the list" shows a lot more  
schedules (about 100 for me) until 2023-02-03 so its not useful at  
all.  Its either "too little" or "too much" information.

If I'm correct there is currently no way to customize the number of  
days to display future schedules in the homepage.  If so then I'd  
suggest to add a field in the Options > Home to specify how many days  
in advance should the program display future schedules in the homepage.

I would keep the number of days to display future schedules in  
homepage **totally** separate from the number of days to preview in  
ledger.

For me, the former is useful for a quick "at-a-glance" overview of  
upcoming bills, etc while the latter is useful on a longer time period  
to observe account balance variations...
